I'm approaching the end of my first grow, and while everything has progressed pretty well – plants have been healthy and filled the scrog nicely – the buds haven't developed as I expected, and I'm hoping to get input as to what the problem might be for my next grow. The scrog resulted in copious buds, the plants are giving off an intoxicating odor and fan leaves are yellowing fast, but the buds seem to have stopped developing.
Photos are below, but first the vitals:
The environment:
grow room: 120 x 60 x 220 cm
10 cm inline exhaust fan with carbon filter
2 x 300w LED panels (Viparspectra class)
temp has been 25'C during light period, 21'C in dark
humidity fluctuates 35% - 45%
Super soil mix in 20 L buckets
Jack's Classic All-Purpose 20-20-20 and Bloom Booster 10-30-20, with a dose of DIY Big Bud weekly
The plants:
1 x Money Bush (fem, photo)
1 x Northern Lights (fem, photo)
vegged for 8 weeks at 18/6
currently finishing week 8 of 12/12
amber trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves, but few on the bud
Let me know if you need additional detail.
Here's a photo of the scrog; MB on the left, NL on the right:

I'm thinking the problem might be insufficient light (I can add a third panel), or perhaps because, according to directions, I continued to tuck the buds under the screen for the first 2 weeks of 12/12. Dunno. Please share your experience and advise.
